My Big New Toy- A Dukes of Hazzard Dodge Monaco Patrol Car

Well, the deal went through today and I am the proud new owner of a 1977 Dodge Monaco Dukes of Hazzard patrol car! I am a huge Dukes fan and have a ton of the 1/64th scale Monacos, so it's crazy sweet to have one in real life! I bought it from Bob, a super nice guy over in Indiana. He even brought his General Lee with him to our meet up. It was a surreal day to say the least!

For you fellow Dukes fans , never fear! I have switched the red and blue lenses to the correct sides! I am also getting the white-walls turned around soon!

This is Bob's General and my new patrol car parked at Steak and Shake today.

Bob's General was awesome! He took me for a ride in it and it was so cool how people took pictures everywhere we went. He even got Enos (Sonny Shroyer) on the phone while I was test driving the patrol car and I got to talk to him! It was the highlight of the day!!

The patrol car is autographed by several cast and stunt crew members too! Including Jerry Rushing, the real life "Duke" boy whom the shows premise is modeled after. If you haven't seen his movie, Moon Runners, you are missing a piece of Dukes history!

Hot Wheels Show in Dayton, Ohio 8/19/2012

I found some really nice cars at the Hot Wheels Show in Dayton, Ohio today. They have Hot Wheels shows at Hara Arena, a local venue hall, every six months and they are usually very busy. Today was no different. I found about 80 or so cars there today, and a lot of them are new cars but some are older. Here is a group picture of all my finds this weekend. I will be posting individual pictures later today so stay tuned!
